The Claas brothers

Under the name “Gebrüder Claas” (Claas Brothers), the firm became well known all around the world. So who were the company’s founding fathers, August, Bernhard, Franz and Theo, and what were they like?

Mower combinations. Product range tailored to the customer's needs.

The classic DISCO CONTOUR, DISCO AUTOSWATHER with swath grouping, and DISCO DUO with reverse-drive system have been joined by the DISCO BUSINESS comfort model and the DISCO TREND entry-level model. The five model ranges differ slightly in terms of ease of operation and equipment – but all of them meet the high quality demands that CLAAS places on every machine it makes.

All-round view guaranteed.

DISCO DUO.

DISCO 9400 C DUO has a working width of 9.10 metres, making it the widest mower on the market for tractors with a reverse-drive system. The mounting location immediately in front of the cab gives the driver a clear of the mowers and the crop, for maximum driving comfort. If required, the mower can be converted for operation as a front-rear combination.

Optionally fitted with four LED lights for professional harvesting results, even at night

Disc speed monitoring and drive protection.

If the disc speed of a mower unit falls below a defined limit (which can be pre-set as required), the driver is alerted to this with a visual and acoustic alarm signal. This means the full performance capacity of the machine can be harnessed at all times. An angle sensor can be used to save the required headland lift height. In combination with the disc speed monitoring system, the angle sensor effectively protects the drive from operator errors.

Individual lifting function for mowers at the headland.

Compact transport position.

User-friendly operation, e.g. with ISOBUS terminal S10 and the ISOBUS function buttons on the control lever.

Clear layout reduces operator stress and boosts mowing productivity.

Hydraulic non-stop breakback protection in case of a collision impact – the mower pivots, and is automatically placed in the starting position.

The standard lift and suspension rams of the ACTIVE FLOAT suspension provide reliable protection for the grass cover.

A genuine all-rounder.

The DISCO 9200 C AUTOSWATHER is the professional mower for contractors, large agricultural businesses and biogas plant operators. The biogas mower with swath-grouping function was specifically developed for harvesting whole-plant silage crops such as forage rye or triticale. Multiple operating processes ensure maximum flexibility.

Play it safe.

To prevent any losses in the conditioner tines as the crop is transferred to the belt units, the mower has a sealed conditioner tray. A belt cover is also available as optional equipment. This enables you to further reduce material losses in particularly densely planted areas, for example. Cleaning times are also reduced.

One mowing combination, four processes.

For swath grouping, the two belt units are folded down. Specifically for a biomass crop, the DISCO 9200 C AUTOSWATHER forms a perfect box-shaped swath. The high torque of the belt drive allows operation at low rpm.

In addition to depositing a single swath, by folding up one of the belt units, during a back-and-forth pass you can consolidate a working width of 18 metres into 12 metres. Working in combination with the LINER 3600, which has a raking width of 12.50 metres, the mower can combine a working width of 18 metres into a single swath. Results from the field show that this can boost the JAGUAR's harvesting capacity by up to 40 percent.

The DISCO 9200 C AUTOSWATHER makes for even more efficient edge mowing: with an active belt unit at the outside field edge, you can throw the crop material inwards, to make sure no valuable crop is lost.

Lower diesel consumption.

DISCO AUTOSWATHER.

If the disc speed of a mower unit falls below a defined limit (which can be pre-set as required), the driver is alerted to this with a visual and acoustic alarm signal. This means the full performance capacity of the machine can be harnessed at all times. An angle sensor can be used to save the required headland lift height. In combination with the disc speed monitoring system, the angle sensor effectively protects the drive from operator errors.

NEW: Optional slope control

Via an incline sensor in the mounting block, the ground pressure (ACTIVE FLOAT) and belt speed adjust automatically to the current slope angle. The required pressure change according to slope angle is easily adjusted from the terminal. This reduces the driver's workload, and improves quality. The change in frictional forces also helps to positively counter slope drift, which in turn protects the sward. The result is optimal swath formation in cross-slope passes, and less risk of unmown strips or crop soiling.

For even greater convenience, users of DISCO 9200 C AUTOSWATHER machines can also optimise their CLAAS front mower, provided the front mower and large-scale mower are fitted with the required options. No additional spool valve is then required for front mower additional options. The range includes disc speed monitoring and the ACTIVE FLOAT display, ACTIVE FLOAT control, and automatic control of the hydraulically foldable protective covers.

When the mower units are raised at the headlands, the feed belts are automatically accelerated to the maximum speed with the patented BELT BOOST technology. This forms a tapered swath, rather than increasing its width. The swath is then picked up by the harvesting machine following behind without any loss of material.

Masterly mowing performance.

DISCO BUSINESS.

The DISCO 1100 BUSINESS offers a working width of up to 10.70 metres, making it the largest mower conditioner on the market today. This is the ideal machine for the professional, with its combination of unbeatable productivity, smart technology and user-friendly operation.

The DISCO 1100 BUSINESS is equipped with either tine or roller conditioners. The tried and tested member of the BUSINESS series, the DISCO 9200 BUSINESS, with a maximum working width of 9.10 metres, is available with and without a tine conditioner.

The DISCO 1100 telescopic booms.

The two telescopic booms, each with a 3.80-metre-wide MAX CUT mower bar, have infinitely variable adjustment via the terminal to the mower. The protected, inside travel measurement rams provide flexible overlap setting capability, allowing a greater overlap in tight curves or on slopes, for example.

For road transport, the telescopic booms can be folded upwards, and also downwards at up to 20 cm ground clearance. This combines a maximum working width of 10.70 metres, including conditioner, with a compact road transport position of less than 4.0 metres in height.

The DISCO 1100 drive concept.

The intelligent drive train design is ultra-reliable, and also needs very little maintenance. The external mower drive means that a simple telescoping drive shaft is all that is needed.

If the speed of a mower unit falls below a (pre-adjustable) limit value, the driver is alerted with a visual and audio alarm. This allows full utilisation of the machine's capacity at all times. The required lift height at headlands can be saved, using an angle sensor. In combination with the disc speed monitoring function, the angle sensor provides effective protection against operator errors.

Users of DISCO 9200 BUSINESS and DISCO 1100 BUSINESS machines can also optimise their CLAAS front mower, provided the front mower and large-scale mower are fitted with the required options. This means no additional spool valve is required. The range includes disc speed monitoring and the ACTIVE FLOAT display, ACTIVE FLOAT control and automatic control of the hydraulically folding protective covers.

Markus Hagmann runs a biogas plant in southern Germany, and mows 600 to 700 ha per year with his DISCO 1100 RC. The machine often has to work for 10 hours or more at a stretch, so the focus is on reliable technology.

He uses an intensive five-way crop rotation strategy, with plenty of clover and not too much maize. For optimum drying performance, Markus has opted for a roller conditioner. "But the system is also consistently reliable for higher-density crops such as field crops", he says.

The classic.

DISCO CONTOUR.

Endurance test in alfalfa.

The French dried crop product specialist Luzéal in France operates over a total area of 40,000 ha at six different locations, producing around 162,000 tonnes of dry product a year, in the form of pellets and bales. At their Saint-Remy-sur-Bussy location, they used the DISCO 9100 RC predecessor model in combination with a DISCO 3500 FRC front mower and the MAX CUT mower bar. In two years of harvesting, they mowed and conditioned around 20,000 ha of alfalfa with this mowing combination. Apart from a SAFETY LINK module shorn off in a collision, no visits to the workshop for repairs were ever required. According to Hughes Dubreuil, location manager at Saint-Remy-sur-Bussy: "We were delighted with the operational quality and the strength and reliability of this mowing combination, and the MAX CUT mower bar."

If the speed of a mower unit falls below a (pre-adjustable) limit value, the driver is alerted with a visual and audio alarm. This allows full utilisation of the machine's capacity at all times. The required lift height at headlands can be saved, using an angle sensor. In combination with the disc speed monitoring function, the angle sensor provides effective protection against operator errors.

Professional technology for every situation.

DISCO TREND.

DISCO TREND is the ideal mower for farming businesses looking for high-productivity, low-weight technology solutions. The DISCO 8500 TREND is the entry-level model, and an ideal first step towards superior ha/h work rates when used with tractors from as little as 120 hp. But its potential is also fully utilised in combination with more powerful tractors. The DISCO TREND stands for high productivity and ease of operation, with working widths of 8.30 m, 9.30 m and now 10.70 m. And of course it uses the same high-quality parts as the other large-scale mowers in the CLAAS range.

DISCO 1100 TREND.

This new mower is ideal for large-scale farming operations relying on high-efficiency tractors. An electric control terminal allows the preselection of specific functions, such as individual mower lift. The mower can then be operated from inside the cab, with no need for a control cable. All other aspects are controlled by the driver via the spool valves and the tractor's headland management system.

DISCO 1100 TREND.

"I have 200 ha of green crop area to mow, an average of four times a year. To get the best result, I have to mow at just the right time – so I have to get the job done quickly. If the future is going to bring less favourable climate conditions, having real mowing power when I need it will become even more important. My new mowing combination offers a mix of professional equipment and ease of operation – this is mowing at its best!"

With his new mowing combination of a DISCO 1100 TREND and a 3150 F, Kai Glander, a young farmer from Riede in Lower Saxony, has replaced two front-and-rear combinations in one go, and can now work with just one driver, faster and more efficiently than ever before.

He likes to be self-reliant, and also has a strong focus on quality. He insists on giving his 700 dairy cows only the best possible feed. That means quality has to start right from the mowing stage – which calls for a cleanly cut crop with minimum soiling.

The DISCO TREND does not require a control terminal, but is easily and efficiently operated directly via the tractor spool valves. The basic version requires one single-acting spool valve for the folding function and another for the ACTIVE FLOAT suspension (for both mowers). With an optional additional spool valve, it is also possible to set individual lift for the two mowers, via a two-way valve, for example.
